Cucamelon Plants

Cucamelon PlantsOriginating in Central and South America, the cucamelon (Melothria scabra) is one of the worlds most charming fruits. Though not a hybrid, botanically speaking, this plant boasts fruits that look like a cross between a cucumber and a melon (hence the name). The miniature fruits have all the crunch of a traditional cuke but with hints of sour lime when it comes to their flavour profile. One things for sure, nobody elses kids will have cucamelons in
